Office Romance with a Werewolf - Chapter 157

“I think you have your period as well.” Nida commented while she looked up at Ranz.

Nida feels strange about Ranz’s current expression because it doesn’t match his scowl before they entered the car.

Ranz’s face now has a blissful expression after Nida willingly holds him in her arms while they are sitting on the passenger seat. And he also gazed at the lady who was sitting beside the driver’s seat as if he had just won over something.

“What do you mean by that?” Ranz asked, his eyes smiling.

Nida just leans her head on Ranz’s shoulder. She still feels sleepy, but luckily her period didn’t hurt like it usually did, thanks to her divine powers.

She closed her eyes and let Ranz’s arms wrap around her. Nida wasn’t sure if they’d completely forgotten about their first argument. They shouted at one another and didn’t even finish talking to each other after Lady interrupted them. Nida just wants to avoid thinking about it, but she knows they can’t always shake off their issue.

Nida just decided to stay close to Ranz again until they had the chance to talk about their relationship again.

“Ugh, we are still early.” Nida groans after Randell drops them off. Randell’s orientation seminar is at 7 a.m. That is why he needs to take the two to their office before seven so that Randell won’t be late either. Of course, Lady would be with Randell because she’s his instructor from today.

“We really need to buy our own car.” Ranz commented as he awkwardly looked at his hand, which Nida was casually holding on to.

They stood in front of their company building, thinking about where they would be spending their time waiting for their office to open. Their office opens at exactly eight in the morning, and employees cannot enter before that. LARO emphasizes the importance of being on time as it opens at exactly 8 a.m. and requires employees to leave the office at five.

That is why they cannot always rely on Randell to give them a ride, as Randell’s schedule is very much different than theirs.

“Shall we buy a car now?” Nida suggested something which she herself scoffed at, “As if I have the money.”

“I have the money. Shall we?” Ranz proudly stated.

“Wow, good for you to have the money.” Nida smiled and they walked side by side to the nearby car dealer they knew, but they loudly laughed together after reaching the showroom.

“Haha! It’s still seven in the morning!”

“Of course, it’s still closed! Haha!”

They couldn’t believe that they didn’t consider its opening hours. They walked a few meters away from LARO with a positive attitude, as if they were buying a car, as if they were only going to buy milk tea. Ranz and Nida couldn’t laugh and clutched their stomachs.

“Haha! Ranz, let’s stop. The crowd was looking at us. They might think we’re crazy! ” Nida tried to stop laughing and wipe her teary eyes.

Ranz also stopped laughing and looked around them and asked, “What crowd?”

“What do you mean, what crowd? People are obviously looking at us! ” Nida replied in a hushed tone, so the people around her wouldn’t notice that they were now talking about them. However, there is no crowd in Ranz’s vision. They were literally alone on the sidewalk, and only moving cars were the only things Ranz could see with people.

“Are you still sick?” Ranz approached Nida closer and checked the temperature of Nida’s forehead. Nida was fine, and her complexion looked better. That is why Ranz wonders why Nida was hallucinating.

Nida hugged Ranz’s arms as she felt slightly scared of what she was seeing that was not visible to others, thinking what kind of additional ability her powers gave her. Nida focused her eyes on the people in the street and asked Ranz again, “Don’t tell me you can’t see the people around you?”

I really can’t see what you are talking about. We are literally alone on this sidewalk. ” Daniel replied in a hushed tone, as Nida spoke softly as well.

“Then what am I seeing?”

Nida blinks her eyes and stares more at the busy people she could see, soon realizing that the people she is vividly seeing don’t have their shadows.

Spirits?

Ghost?

Nida was thinking about what type of supernatural being she was seeing. She wonders if it’s her first time seeing one or if it’s her first time noticing it. Neither of them is a good thing.

Nida wanted to avoid supernatural beings as much as possible, but seeing spirits would make it harder for her to live in peace.

Sometimes she wonders whether it is good to know everything regarding the world of supernatural beings and actually do her job as a priestess, or whether it is better to stay clueless and stubbornly avoid it.

“You must be seeing spirits.” Ranz commented. Nida panicked for a moment when Ranz removed his hand from being tightly hugged by Nida, but Ranz hugged her soon after. Ranz could feel Nida’s trembling while she huddled in Ranz’s arms. That is why Ranz decided to fully hug Nida to comfort her. Nida felt relieved after she received Ranz’s hug, and she buried her face in Ranz’s chest. Her trembling stops after receiving Ranz’s warmth and she also has the energy to throw out some joke, “Hmm. I really love your chest. Especially this little one. ”

Nida jokingly poked Ranz’s nipple and looked up at him with a smile.

Ranz’s face turned brightly red and he scolded Nida for teasing him, “D-don’t kid like that! I guess you’re fine now! ”

Ranz was about to move away, but Nida hugged him again and buried her face in Ranz’s chest.

“Sorry, I was kidding. But don’t leave me alone! Some of them are looking at me! What should I do?”

Ranz didn’t know what to do, as he could not see the same vision Nida was seeing. He only knew that when a living being died, they didn’t go to the afterlife right away. They stay in the living world for forty days before they ascend. That is why a supernatural being who died with a core still intact could still return to life, but there is still another condition, but it is one of the things needed to come back. On the other hand, humans who died would never have had a chance to be resurrected because humans have the weakest core of all the races in the world. No one actually knows what the human core looks like because it was shattered before a human could take its last breath. And so, the soul of human beings wonders around the living realm with a choice to ascend or not, and that is what makes the spirits or ghosts.

Just pretend you can’t see them. “As long as you don’t disturb them, they’re harmless.”Ranz advised. He then slowly broke off their hug and held Nida’s hand instead. “Let’s go back?” he asked, to which Nida responded silently with a nod.

Ranz and Nida walked too slowly, making Ranz feel like he was dragging Nida because of how slowly she walks.

“We can’t reach the office if we keep walking like that.” Ranz looked down at Nida, who had her head and gazed down at the sidewalk. Nida looked scared again. That made Ranz stop walking and raise Nida’s face to see her expression clearly. “What’s wrong?”

They are all staring at me! Nida exclaimed, which made the spirits react more and swarm closer to her. Oh, no!Help me! ”

Nida panicked and shakenly hugged Ranz. There is no place she could run to and just decide to shut her eyes not to see ominous beings. The spirits were staring at her with their eyes popped open, most of which could be seen more of their pupils.

Nida doesn’t want to talk to any of the spirits and wishes to not get involved with them.

Nida feels like she was cast into a horror film in which she is being hunted by hundreds of spirits. The only difference is that it is creepier in reality.

Ranz fixed his gaze on them. though he couldn’t see the spirits bothering Nida, he menacingly looked at their surroundings, hoping to send the spirits away. Ranz then picked up Nida and carried her to his arms. Nida, who was still shaking in fear, buried her face in Ranz’s neck and wrapped her arms around Ranz’s shoulder.

“W-why? Why suddenly can I see them? ” Nida mumbled while thinking about what trigger might have triggered her to see the spirits. At the same time, she wonders whom she should be asking for help about this.

Daniel? The world’s three Angel?

Nida doesn’t have anyone she can rely on to ask for information, while Daniel, whom Nida surely trusted, is now distancing herself from her.

“I hope there are no spirits at the office..” Nida mumbled as she could now see their office from a distance.
